Question
Explain how the frequency of oscillation is related to the length of a pendulum and the amplitude of its oscillation.

Solution
The frequency of oscillation of a pendulum decreases with an increase in the length of the pendulum and vice versa. It is independent of the amplitude of the oscillation of the pendulum, provided the amplitude is small.
